“Amazon has announced that its Prime Air service has become the first in the world to secure a SAIL 4 (Specific Assurance and Integrity Level 4) Operating Authorisation and Flightworthiness Validation from the UK Civil Aviation Authority (CAA), one of the most demanding levels in the UK’s internationally recognised framework for drone safety…

The approval is the result of years of engineering work with safety as the guiding principle. Prime Air’s aircraft, systems and operation have been through an exceptionally rigorous assessment, benchmarked against the most stringent safety and regulatory standards. Reaching SAIL 4 means thousands more households in the Darlington area, growing from around 600 eligible customers to roughly 8,000, can now get the everyday items they need delivered to their door, safely and reliably, in under two hours, rather than adding an extra trip to their day.”
